Court ruling splits Twitter brand: X keeps name, loses bird and 'tweet'
A US judge ruled that X Corp retains the 'Twitter' name but has abandoned the 'tweet' term and bird logo. The decision stems from Elon Musk's 2023 public statements about discarding the old brand. X won the name dispute by proving continued use in its App Store listing, while losing the other marks due to lack of active usage evidence. Operation Bluebird, the rival startup, can now use the discarded marks but must wait for a full trial to challenge the name.
